Automatic cabinet opening, Atmos Marqueterie

A cabinet fitted with an automatic opening system designed from a gear train and a barrel that are similar, in many ways, to a watchmaking mechanism. The cabinet doors with inlays open onto a second cabinet, entirely in glass, that houses an Atmos with regulating movement.

A sophisticated dial, Atmos Marqueterie

To coordinate with the intricate inlay work decorating the cabinet, the dial has been designed in an equally sophisticated style: mother-of-pearl, petrified wood hour-markers and a cushion-cut yellow sapphire inlaid at 60 minutes. Disc and moon phase in petrified wood inlaid with diamonds, moon decorated with fine gold.
